Guitar Pick-ups

“Your Manne Blades MiniHumbucker is a beast! Cuts through the mix like nothing.”Horst Keller, German Line6 artist

Manne Blades Minihumbuckers and Humbuckers
These pick-ups are hand-wound directly on the blade rather than on bobbins. This gives the pickup an extraordinary sensitivity to playing nuances. The tone is more “musical” and highlights your touch with great dynamic extension. The two coils can be connected in series or parallel, giving you two calibrated sounds: a fatter and warm sound when connected in serias and a brighter, sharper sound when in parallel. Compared to the usual split/coil, the series-parallel wiring always use both coils, so it will always perform noise cancellation, being in humbucking mode in both cases. (Blades’ infos)

SB

SB Pickups for 7 – up to 10 strings

These humbucker pickups are ideal to cover the tonal response of instruments from 7 strings up to 10 strings. The bar polar expansion makes them suitable to any strings spacing. The two coils can be connected in series or parallel.

We developed a specific preamp to work in conjunction with these pickups, to let them work in standard ceramic classic tone and output mode, or to let them increase the volume output and frequency range making them sound more like classic active pickups.

Piezo Pick-up

PZ

Used on: Acoustibass and Semiacustica

The piezo pick-up we use is specially handmade for us. It has a superior performance, with a linear response that lets us use it on all our piezo instruments as Acoustibass, Semiacustica, Nylon Semiacustica, and we use it also on acoustic and classic guitars.

We started using this bridge since its introduction in 1996, that’s where its codename comes from. We consider it a superior Floyd-style bridge, superior in material and in tone as it is less metallic and less tone killing than other floyds.
